Unable to seize power electorally in a city where more than 80 percent of residents are Black, Republicans in Mississippi are pushing legislation that would put the capital city of Jackson under the thumb of unelected judges and a notoriously aggressive state police force that answers to controversial state officials rather than local leaders. The legislation is part of a package of bills that put Jackson City affairs under state control and rapidly expanded the state-run Capitol Police force, which is responsible for a rash of recent shootings that killed or injured Black residents and left families demanding answers. Community activists and the city’s firebrand progressive mayor, Chokwe Antar Lumumba, describe the proposed state takeover with words like “racism,” “apartheid” and “power grab.” Republican lawmakers, virtually all of them white, claim race has nothing to do with their proposals and they are only trying to help Jackson with a backlog of court cases and an understaffed police department. However, in a deeply Southern city with a long history of segregation, white flight and simmering tensions between Black city leaders and state politicians maneuvering to siphon off resources to whiter suburbs, politics are never so simple.

I’m talking about the Xerox Alto, which debuted in the early spring of 1973 at the photocopying giant’s newly established R&D laboratory, the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). The reason it is so uncannily familiar today is simple: We are now living in a world of computing that the Alto created.

To some, watching someone work on a laptop might seem as boring as watching paint dry. And others might find it unsettling, considering the workers are strangers. But with more people struggling with ADHD and a loneliness epidemic, body doubling is seen as a way to assuage both conditions.

A joke is doing the rounds among the US officials who deal with Europe. What, they ask, is the fastest way to bring something to President Putin’s attention? The answer: give it to the Germans. Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, is having a rough time. One of its officers stands accused of leaking secrets to the FSB, a Kremlin spy agency, and its efforts to uncover who carried out the bombing of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines last September are understood to be proving fruitless. Yet the most potentially serious of its problems is also the least discussed in public: the steady erosion of trust in its competence. The BND is a peculiar organisation. Founded after the Second World War as an unruly private espionage network of former Wehrmacht officers, Gestapo agents and sleazy aristocrats, its initial purpose was primarily to spy on the enemies of Konrad Adenauer, the first West German chancellor.

The US does not have the same strict rules as Europe on the designation of origin for foods, said judges in the Richmond, Virginia-based US court of appeals for the fourth circuit. The US Food and Drug Administration does set some standards for gruyere cheese, such as the existence in it of “small holes” or that such cheese is aged at least 90 days. But it does not establish criteria on geographic origin. “Cheese – regardless of its location of production – has been labelled and sold as gruyere in America for decades,” the court said.

Hundreds of thousands of gallons of raw sewage — enough to fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool, was spilled into the Hillsborough River, according to state environmental reports. More than six weeks later, we are getting a better picture of the extent of that sewage spill into the Hillsborough River, the main source of Tampa's drinking water. According to an investigation by the Environmental Protection Commission of Hillsborough County, the estimated 630,000-gallon spill began on Jan. 10 after Tampa Electric turned off the power to the lift station at Mirela North due to nonpayment. The lift station was without power for about a week, and the untreated sewage from Mirela North and Riverside Palms apartments emptied into the river.

PATERSON – Najee Seabrooks, a member of a Paterson violence intervention group, was fatally shot by a city police officer on Friday afternoon after a five-hour standoff while he was barricaded inside his home. Social justice activists and law enforcement sources agree on those basic facts. But they are at odds over whether the shooting was justified. Members of the Paterson Healing Collective condemned the shooting, accusing city police of preventing them from helping their friend and colleague. They said police should not have allowed the situation to escalate to the point where deadly force was used.

At 13, she was too young to be cleaning a meatpacking plant in the heart of Nebraska cattle country, working the graveyard shift amid the brisket saws and the bone cutters. The cleaning company broke the law when it hired her and more than two dozen other teenagers in this gritty industrial town, federal officials said. Since the U.S. Department of Labor raided the plant in October, Packers Sanitation Services, a contractor hired to clean the facility, has been fined for violating child labor laws. The girl, meanwhile, has watched her whole life unravel. First, she lost the job that burned and blistered her skin but paid her $19 an hour. Then a county judge sent her stepfather to jail for driving her to work each night, a violation of state child labor laws.

The ransomware attack against the city of Oakland appears to be getting worse. On Friday, Oakland acknowledged in an update on the city’s website that files were taken from the city during the cyberattack which began in February and that some of this data, possibly including sensitive personal and financial information, might be released publicly. “[W]e recently became aware that an unauthorized third party has acquired certain files from our network and intends to release the information publicly,” the city posted. “We are working with third-party specialists and law enforcement on this issue and are actively monitoring the unauthorized third party’s claims to investigate their validity. If we determine that any individual’s personal information is involved, we will notify those individuals in accordance with applicable law.”

Sidney Poitier walked among kings and earned Hollywood’s highest honors, but that didn’t stop the Federal Bureau of Investigation from keeping tabs on the actor and philanthropist via informants and surveillance tactics during the civil rights era, according to documents newly obtained by Rolling Stone. Poitier, who passed away at age 94 on January 6, 2022, had a career that lasted 75 years and was surveilled by the agency at the height of his fame. Poitier’s FBI file – requested via the Freedom of Information Act – is 13 pages long, covering 1959 to 1963, with some pages newly declassified in 2023 following Rolling Stone’s request. The documents, which are labeled Part 01, almost certainly don’t include everything the agency collected on the man who was the first Black performer to win an Academy Award for Best Actor. Yet its contents reveal an era that had the agency tracking the actor much in the way they did Aretha Franklin, as first reported by Rolling Stone. Focused largely on Poitier’s associations with civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., efforts to raise funds for underprivileged Black youth, pushes toward integration, and support of organizations like the NAACP and King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the FBI files have many redactions and notably contain submissions by informants who had infiltrated the organizing efforts of civil rights groups.
